@Jdaki1 The Germanics were significantly bigger and fought more fanatically, this is fact...
"twice as tall" of course is an exaggeration.
History shows that the Roman's advantage in battle was simply the right tactics mixed with the right weaponry and superior formations...
A German might kill a few romans, but there was always a roman inline waiting to take his place...
anyways the Germans sacked rome several times after its downfall, but the romans never really conquered Germania.

@Howie262 The Romans won every battle except for Teutoberg Forest, and even after that many successful campaigns were carried out in Germany. There is no way that the Germans were twice as tall.
-
Let it be known that the Romans never made it past the Rhine with out getting slaughter by the Germans...
Cesar made it a point that he didn't want to fight the Germans unless he had to, being that they were twice the size of the roman centurions with blonde braded hair and beards. But its the Roman's greed of land which ultimately aided in their downfall. They shouldn't have messed with the Barbarians to the north.

@TheRoopeKonna Indeed, it does work against AI only, online it is suicide. Any static "tactics" is suicide in online.
-
You can use anything to beat the dumb AI. I've beaten a fullstack of AI controlled horse archers with only using 6 units of gaul warbands, with no noob box. A noob box would've gotten slaughtered there.

Oh yeah, and RTW is not what you call "real life".
That formation, historically, was a starting position, not a position you'd stay in for the whole battle. You'd evolve and advance from that position realistically.
-
Oh yeah, you can throw any tactic at the AI and still win. You'd still win with almost no casualties if you'd just advance and use regular tactics to beat your enemy.
Noob box just puts your opponent into the initiative and advantage.
If he's a human, he probably breaks it open like an egg and kills your troops. Wanna try?

@urmo345 true. i'm a guilty user of the noob-box myself, i just don't use it online, cause it's boring for me and my opponent
-
It does not work online, but AI always falls in it...

@Anthrax123100 i used "noob" box to repelled AI army more than four times larger than me and having no general, only a captain.
This formation is sometimes known as the "noob box"

@MegaLordBane In reality, yes. In rtw the phalanx is too overpowered
